Personal Attention
Every client works directly with a CPA — not a junior associate or call center. We take the time to understand your full financial picture.
Our Story
For over 40 years, our firm has been a cornerstone of the Nutley community — providing honest, personal accounting services to the families and businesses we call neighbors.
Our History
Gasparano & Associates was founded on a simple belief: that every client deserves the same level of care and attention, regardless of the size of their return or their business. Our roots trace back to the office of Joe Marinello CPA, a beloved fixture in Nutley's professional community for decades.
When Thomas Gasparano — who had built his career and reputation working alongside Joe Marinello — established Gasparano & Associates, he carried forward that same commitment to personal service and community trust. The firm has grown, but the philosophy has never changed: know your clients, understand their lives, and give them advice you'd give a friend.
Today, Gasparano & Associates serves individuals, families, and small businesses throughout Nutley and the surrounding Essex County area. We are proud to be a firm where clients are known by name — not by account number.
Our Values
Every client works directly with a CPA — not a junior associate or call center. We take the time to understand your full financial picture.
We live and work in Nutley. Our clients are our neighbors, and we take that responsibility seriously.
We tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. Our advice is straightforward, practical, and always in your best interest.
